Good riddance

Those who want to leave America should leave, then the Native Americans and Mexico can reclaim their land.

The Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Ala., recently wrote “Hundreds of thousands of disgruntled conservatives, still smarting from the reelection of President Obama, are signing petitions to allow more than 30 states to secede from the United States — and they are being joined by a motley collection of white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and Klan sympathizers.”

I’m not for any state of this union trying to secede, and I also believe that the perpetrators of such treasonous activities should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law much like the prosecutorial precedents set and carried out by President Abraham Lincoln’s regime during the Civil War, with certain exceptions. I take exception to some of Lincoln’s decisions because he wasn’t hard enough on those who signed, and or acted upon, the Articles of Confederation in Montgomery resulting in the deaths of thousands of people. As many as could have been arrested should have all faced the firing squad or the hangman’s rope. No exceptions, none whatsoever.

I invite any American citizen to once again review the problems in our republic that were caused by states acting to secede. The citizens in rebellion forged their own territorial borders, coined their own money, enacted their own laws contrary to existing American law, and took up arms against the government of the United States of America, and from their various states of the union, attempted to prosecute war. Those who want to leave America should leave, then the Native Americans and Mexico can reclaim their land.

Also, if the nuts leave then what’s left is 98 percent of American industry and top universities. The remaining American citizens will do well with this arrangement.
